Children, Young People and Families

Hi my name is Adrianna Jones and I joined the Merton Voluntary Service Council team in July as the new Social Prescribing Project Coordinator. I am based at five local GP practices in East Merton. After a successful pilot, MVSC fortunately recruited me to their team!
Before this new role, I was mainly based in and around West London and have worked for non-profit organisations within mental health services and NHS primary care.

Come along for inspiring children’s activities in the stunning surrounds of the historic Canons House.

Did you know growing and distilling lavender was one of Mitcham’s most important industries for hundreds of years? Join us at The Canons house and gardens on Saturday 21st July to pot your own lavender plant, bottle lavender oil and take home a dried lavender sachet.

There will also be a family-friendly photo-trail around The Canons to help you discover more about this lovely green space.

All are invited to the launch of a new service that is going to be available in the Mitcham area. It is brought about through collaboration between a number of local churches and organisations in response to growing mental wellbeing issues in families.

The aim of the service is to provide opportunity for individuals and families to access advice and support within their locality.

The launch of the new service will be at Rhema Church. The service is called the 'Pastors Network for Family Care Service'. The service will be available to church members and the community.

The Osteopathic Centre for Children is a charity that seeks to ensure that paediatric osteopathy is established as an option for parents and carers concerned for their child’s health. They run a full-time clinic in Wandsworth, London, where they welcome mums and mums-to-be, babies, children and teenagers.
